ALL OR NOTHING. AND WE CHOSE ALL.

All the deli meats that carry the Levoni label are “born and bred” in Italy, because, when it comes to quality, goodness and transparency there are no short cuts.

It’s all or nothing, we said. And we chose all.

FINE RAW MATERIAL

Management of the production chain; the selection of breeds; traditional recipes; a meticulous choice of ingredients and respect for natural “rhythms” are all elements in our quest for quality. The challenge for Levoni is to blend the controls and safety standards required in large-scale production with the precision and attention typical of traditionally crafted products.

ALL OF OUR MEATS

All of our recipes are made with pork from pigs that were born, bred, and butchered in Italy and with carefully selected and prepared choice meats. We spice our products in full respect of the raw ingredients, with the goal of enhancing their flavour and quality.

ALL OF OUR PATIENCE

Levoni takes all of the time necessary in order to create its deli meats, because goodness comes from attention to detail, taking our time, and having the patience which the quality of our deli meats deserves.

ALL OUR RECIPES

The greatest Italian flavourists have helped us to develop the most delicious mixtures of spices, in absolute respect of the traditional recipes that are so representative of Italy’s regions. The best spices, their daily grinding, and the use of the best natural aromas are fundamental parts of our high quality creations.

ALL OF OUR CARE

Levoni is very careful about ever-more prevalent issues related to food intolerances and allergies. For this reason, all of Levoni’s deli meats are made without gluten or lactose. Furthermore, when possible, without compromising the traditional recipes, we have also eliminated milk proteins. For those products in which they are present as an ingredient or in traces, they are listed in the ingredients as required by current regulations.

ALL ITALIAN

One of Levoni’s objectives is to bring the goodness of Italy’s regions to dinner tables around the world. That’s why we have never abandoned our artisan roots, which have allowed us to pass down, from generation to generation, the tastes and flavours of our country's great culinary tradition.

The proverbial tenacity of the founder meant he only introduced his three sons into the business when he was sure that they would, under no circumstances, drop standards of quality; continuing to produce only “The Good Ones”.
